Supporters of Tottenham Hotspur have flocked to images of Michel Vorm which were posted to social media by the club.
On Tuesday, it was the Dutch goalkeeper’s birthday and to mark the occasion, Spurs posted a birthday message alongside four images of him (per Tottenham Hotspur).
The £720,000-rated stopper has been without a club since he was released by the north London outfit in the summer of this year (per Transfermarkt).
Vorm’s release by Tottenham came after he made just one appearance in all competitions for the club during the 2019/20 season and that was in Spurs’ FA Cup defeat against Norwich City.
Following the club’s post to social media, lots of fans flocked to it to air their thoughts.
So, what did these Tottenham fans have to say about Michel Vorm?
